Personality
Simplistic: Oscar doesn't have much going on in its head. It's a simple entity made from simple origins. It's not exactly dumb, per say. It knows what it needs to survive (avoid light, don't show itself to humans), but that's really it. Since coming to Polaris Pass, it's been more willing to come out and meet people, but still instinctively avoids crowds.
Friendly?: Oscar isn't malicious, that's for sure. Most of the time it thinks it's helping people. Why throw plastic in the ocean when it can eat that plastic for you? When threatened, its more likely to run away than snap back.
Shy: What else could a being made from the idea of staying hidden and quiet be? Oscar has trouble directly confronting people and would rather not be seen when talking. Their first few attempts at talking to people scared kids from under their beds and lonely adults out of their apartments. Now, they're only willing to talk from the shadows.
- Additional Information
- Is weirded out when referred to by any pronouns than "It." It isn't female or male, and "they" feels inaccurate from multiple perspectives. It very much sees itself as not human in any sense of the word.
Abilities
- Ability Format
- Ghost, Elemental
- Advantages
- Disadvantages
- Core Advantage
- Anything Oscar eats disappears into it and cease existing. It cannot eat anything bigger than its mouths. What's being eaten can be pulled out if there's any part of it not inside the mouth, something which may be difficult once Oscar sinks its teeth in. The mouth taking up a good chunk of its head is the largest.
- Nerfs and Flavor
- Oscar's body, being living Shadow, can shift around. The clothes that Oscar died in are a natural part of its body.

Oscar is the culmination of the shadows in dumpsters and trash cans. The culmination of trash left under your bed or objects disappearing behind your desk. And that's really all there is to it. Oscar is a cryptid, built off the ideas of where your socks disappear to and all those other little stories. From there, it became semi-sapient, hiding in houses, cleaning up whatever it could find, then disappearing. Travelling from place to place, it eventually found itself at Polaris Pass after filling itself up on Portland, Oregon.
While all of the above is true, Oscar doesn't remember its previous life: A poor, homeless teenager named Spike. He mostly lived in rundown places, scrounging up food where he could. Once in a while he joined punk-anarchist groups who helped each other survive. He could never stick with them, always feeling the need to wander and explore the world. Yet that kind of wandering was his downfall. When he had no one else to support him, he died from hunger, alone and near a dumpster.
